Top 5 Tips for Planning a Memorable Teen Party

A teen party in NYC

Entertainment

Booking entertainment is an important part of any gathering. Whether you choose the hottest local DJ or a celebrity musical act, including music provides a one-of-a-kind experience that leaves memories to last a lifetime. Our in-house audio-visual team, AV Workshop can handle all the acoustic details, so no need to worry about helping your entertainment setup.

Some additional types of entertainment for the event include, big screen TVs for video games, a photo booth or selfie wall for fun party shots, or fortune tellers or acrobatics to wow your teen’s friends.

Food

Whether it’s sushi or classic comfort foods like grilled cheese and tomato soup, or chicken nuggets,  whatever food your teen requests, our in-house catering team can make it. 

To elevate the culinary experience, consider interactive food stations where teens can customize their own dishes, like a taco bar or a sundae station. This not only ensures everyone gets exactly what they want but also adds an element of fun and engagement to the dining experience. 

Additionally, incorporating trendy and Instagram-worthy snacks, such as gourmet popcorn or a candy buffet, can be a hit among the guests and provide great photo opportunities.

As for beverages, we have a full bar for the adults, and can even custom craft signature ‘mock-tails’ for your teen that match the color scheme of your event!

Decorations

Because our space is a contemporary minimalist design, guests are free to decorate Tribeca Rooftop + 360° as they wish. With white walls and high ceilings, there are seemingly endless possibilities for decor. From cascading flowers to lanterns or chandeliers, we can help you create an intimate, elegant feeling for your celebration.

AV Workshop can also change the color of many of the lights throughout the venue, casting a glow in your signature color. We can even recommend vendors for event decals to adorn the walls with well wishes, graphics, or your teen’s name.

SOCIAL MEDIA & HASHTAGS

Create a unique hashtag for your teen’s party so their friends can check out all the cool shots being posted to social media, and don’t forget to hire a photographer to capture all the fun and festivities.

Encourage guests to share their photos and videos using the hashtag to create a digital album of memories. Setting up a live social media feed at the event can also add excitement, allowing everyone to see posts in real-time.

Incorporate social media-friendly activities like a photo booth with fun props, a creative backdrop, or a designated “selfie station” to ensure there are plenty of shareable moments. Consider hiring a social media coordinator to manage the hashtag, interact with guests online, and ensure all the best moments are captured and shared. Additionally, you can set up a social media contest with prizes for the best post or the most creative use of the hashtag, keeping the energy and engagement high throughout the event.

Swag and Favors

When it comes to gifting guests, the sky’s the limit. Consider custom gifts, like customized decorated sneakers by a local graffiti artist, customized urban vinyl figures, or even hire a customized perfumier to help create signature scents for your teen and their friends. This will give them something to do during the party, and they’ll go home with something nobody else has.

For additional unique and memorable favors, think about personalized tech accessories like custom phone cases or pop sockets featuring the event’s theme or logo. You could also offer DIY craft kits, allowing guests to create their own keepsakes, such as jewelry or tie-dye apparel. 

Another idea is to provide luxury swag bags filled with curated items like gourmet snacks, skincare products, or trendy accessories. These thoughtful and exclusive gifts not only serve as a token of appreciation but also ensure that your teen’s party remains unforgettable for all attendees.
